The Basics

Country: Mozambique

Where is it?: Mozambique sits in south eastern Africa across from Madagascar on the Indian Ocean

Why do people go here?: A fter a long civil war, Mozambique is taking a step forward and starting to promote tourism and democracy, which in return means foreign investment. Like other Indian Ocean countries in Africa, Mozambique is known to have unspoiled beaches, a welcoming community, and the potential to be a great travel destination – once the roads are better and the landmines in the north are removed

What are the main entry points?: The main airline flights go into Maputo and some continue on to Beira. From Malawi, the major crossing is at Zobue, which also runs through to Zimbabwe. South Africa’s entrance into Mozambique is at Ressano Garcia/Komatipoort.
